MAUREEN DOWD has written a funny review of Jane Fonda’s autobiography in today’s NYT. ‘My Life So Far’: The Roles of a Lifetime One day when she was playing cowgirl in the annual bison roundup on one of the New Mexico ranches of her husband, Ted Turner, Jane Fonda realized with a jolt that she was about to turn 60. She decided that the best way to meet this unnerving milestone was to make a short video of her life ‘‘to discover its different themes.’‘ ‘‘Ouch,’’ Jane writes. ‘‘This was the rap on me: I’ve had so many personae over my lifetime that it’s easy to think, Who is she, anyway? Is there a ‘there there’? . . . When I looked at photos of myself over the years and matched them up with my husband of the time, I couldn’t help feeling that maybe it was true—maybe I simply become whatever the man I am with wants me to be: ‘sex kitten,’‘controversial activist,’‘ladylike wife on the arm of corporate mogul.’ . . . Was I just a chameleon, and if so, how was it that a seemingly strong woman could so thoroughly and repeatedly lose herself? Or had I really lost myself?’‘“My Life so Far” by Jane Fonda
She invited her daughter, Vanessa Vadim, a documentary filmmaker, to help her. ‘‘Why don’t you just get a chameleon and let it crawl across the screen?’’ Vanessa suggested dryly.

It may have been a Freudian slip, but Albert at least is honest. Albert published photos from his wedding, but left himself the option that one day he will add some pictures from his second, third or fourth wedding to his website. See for yourself at Albert’s Homepage Realism and Romance, are they a good pair?Albert publishes pictures from his first wedding

I have only read Ann Landers colums perhaps five times in my life. The other day on the road, far away home, I came across a real funny one that I want to share. I wonder if Ann ever thought about doing her column live as a form of stand-up comedy. Too bad we cannot get an update on how well her advice was received. January 25, 2002 Dear Ann Landers: I have fallen in love with my parish priest and need to know what to do. Of course, I can’t talk to anyone about this, so I’m writing to you. I have been separated from my husband for over a year and am getting an annulment. I am deeply religious and am being counseled through the church. As a result, I often chat with Father X. Ann, I believe this man is my true soul mate. He posseses so many wonderful qualities, and I love being around him. Since he is counseling me, I cannot avoid him. However, I know my infatuation is wrong, and I want to do the right thing. Can you help me find a way to let go? —Feeling Guilty in BostonIs this a Joke, Ann?
